China gives Kenya Sh259m for Ebola, drought preparedness
Members of the Civil Protection team, which works to help mitigate the spread of the Ebola virus, disinfect after handling the body of an Ebola victim in Bunia, Ituri province, Democratic Republic of Congo on July 10, 2026.
China has given Kenya Sh129.5 million ($1 million) to strengthen preparedness for Ebola following the confirmation of the country’s first imported case of the disease.
The funding is part of a $2 million (Sh259.5 million) cash grant handed over to the National Treasury yesterday by Chinese Ambassador to Kenya Guo Haiyan. Of the grant, Sh129.5 million will support Ebola preparedness, while a similar amount will go towards drought response.
